FARADAY ROTATION FROM MAGNESIUM II ABSORBERS TOWARD POLARIZED BACKGROUND RADIO SOURCES
Strong singly ionized magnesium (Mg ii) absorption lines in quasar spectra typically serve as a proxy for intervening galaxies along the line of sight. Previous studies have found a correlation between the number of these Mg ii absorbers and the Faraday rotation measure (RM) at ≈5 GHz. We cross-match a …
